Despitemy
letter,[1]I have yet to receive a report on
the expedition to clarify the Bidder concession. Get such
a report from a representative of the commission which
has been there by tomorrow, but under no circumstances
should it be longer than two pages.

Ifear that, as usual, the report will run to a whole tome,
which no one will read.

Makeformal contact with the chairman of the
commission and Krzhizhanovsky, who had given me a host of
unfulfilled
promises.[2]

enterprises earmarked for lease under a concession, to Leslie Urquhart.
